Secrets of Trump's hair revealed - by Ivanka! First Daughter tells friends he had scalp reduction surgery and is too impatient to wait for the Just for Men to take full effect

Michael Wolff's new book alleges that Ivanka Trump has told friends how exactly her father's hair got the way it is

Trump's look comes from a scalp reduction surgery, which decreased the size of a bald spot atop his head, and then a combover held in place by stiffening spray

Ivanka Trump has also told people that her dad uses Just for Men to color his hair, but doesn't leave it on long enough, making his hair its current orange-blond

In the past, first daughter and top White House adviser Ivanka Trump has spilled the beans to her friends on how her father's unusual hairstyle came to be, author Michael Wolff's new book reveals.

'She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate – a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery – surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and security by a stiffening spray,' Wolff wrote.

The book also claims that the president, at age 71, is no longer a natural blond.

The author tells the hair-raising tale as a way to explain Ivanka Trump's relationship with the president of the United States.

Wolff characterizes it as 'in no way conventional,' having seen Ivanka take on the helper role 'not just in [Trump's] business dealings, but in his marital realignments.'

Ivanka, the president's eldest daughter, is a product of his first marriage with Ivana Trump.

Since then he's divorced Ivana, married and divorced Marla Maples and married Melania Trump.

'If it wasn't pure opportunism, it was certainly transactional,' Wolff continued in his assessment of the Ivanka-Donald bond. 'For Ivanka, it was all business – building the Trump brand, the presidential campaign, and now the White House.'

'She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others,' Wolff said.

The president's hair has been a sore spot for years for the businessman, who's argued publicly that his locks are real.

The now defunct website Gawker, suggested Trump's look was due to a $60,000 hair piece. Author and hair expert Gersh Kuntzman, writing for the New York Daily News, argued that it was not so, saying Trump simply had a bad combover and possibly had some hair replacement done.

Wolff's assertion that Trump had scalp-reduction surgery is backed up by legal documents from a controversial time in the now president's life.

According to the 1993 book, 'Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump,' reporter Harry Hurt III describes an incident between Trump and Ivana, his now ex-wife, taken from her deposition from the couple's 1990 divorce in which she says her husband raped her while in pain from a scalp reduction surgery.

The surgery decreases the size of a man's bald spot atop his head, containing the hair loss to a smaller region.

The now president, the 1993 book said, had 'nagging headaches caused by the shrinking of the scalp, and the pain of the initial incision.'

Ivana Trump later stated that the sexual act she had with her husband should not be considered rape.

'As a woman, I felt violated, as they love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent,' she said. 'I referred to this as a "rape," but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.'

Overall, the White House has reacted furiously to Wolff's back, with the president issuing a sharp-tongued statement Wednesday whacking former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, who was often a source for the author.

Additionally, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the book was 'filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House.'

'Participating in a book that can only be described as trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad desperate attempts at relevancy,' Huckabee Sanders said of Wolff's sources.

'Steve Bannon not only lost his job, he lost his mind': Trump rains fire and fury as ex-aide claims there is 'zero chance' Don Jr didn't introduce Russians to his father

President Donald Trump issued an extraordinary statement bashing former top advisor Steve Bannon after the president's longtime consigliere was quoted trashing Donald Trump Jr. and claiming his father would have immediately been made aware of an infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russians.

Bannon claimed a Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, supposedly to obtain unflattering information about Hillary Clinton, was 'treasonous' and 'unpatriotic,' prompting an unprecedented brushback of the former White House aide from the president.

'Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency,' Trump said in a statement provided by the White House that torches his former chief strategist. 'When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.'

Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, then told reporters that the president was 'furious' and 'disgusted' by Bannon's assault on the president's son and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who also attended the Trump Tower meeting.

And late on Wednesday evening, attorneys for Trump issued a cease and desist letter to Bannon threatening legal action.

Trump attorney Charles Harder said in a statement: 'This law firm represents President Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

'On behalf of our clients, legal notice was issued today to Stephen K. Bannon, that his actions of communicating with author Michael Wolff regarding an upcoming book give rise to numerous legal claims including defamation by libel and slander, and breach of his written confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement with our clients. Legal action is imminent.'

The cease and desist letter reads in part: 'You [Bannon] have breached the Agreement by, among other things, communicating with author Michael Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company [the campaign], disclosing Confidential Information to Mr. Wolff, and making disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements to Mr. Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members.'

The White House's full-scale attack on Bannon, who was once one of Trump's top advisers, was ripe with personal slights, exposing a dramatic rift between the president and the conservative provocateur who is also the Breitbart News executive chairman.

It followed Bannon's comments undercutting the president's eldest son and a suggestion that Donald Trump was involved in the 2016 meeting with a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer that Bannon is now quoted as saying should have been reported to the FBI.

'Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican Party,' Trump said. 'Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look.'

Trump said Bannon 'doesn't represent my base, he's only in it for himself' and 'had very little to do' with his victory, but 'everything to do' with the loss of the Alabama Senate seat.

The cutting statement went on to say, 'Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was.'

Bannon backed losing candidate Roy Moore, who Trump ultimately campaigned for in the special election after claiming the Republican would have a tough time winning the general election and endorsing his primary opponent.

Sanders said Wednesday that the loss contributed to the falling out between the president, who last spoke to Bannon sometime in early December.

Accusing the president's son of treason is also not a way to 'curry favor' with Trump, she stated, calling the allegation 'ridiculous.'

'I think there are a number of factors that played in,' she told DailyMail.com. 'I would certainly think that going after the president's son and an absolutely outrageous and unprecedented way, is probably not the best way to curry favor with anybody.'

After the press briefing former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose wife Callista is U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, walked through a press work space on his way to a Fox News interview.

'Bannon has no contingent,' he told DailyMail.com and another reporter ripping into the former White House aide. 'There's a Trump wing of the Republican Party. There's not a Bannon wing.'

The White House had also rejected the notion that feud would weaken Trump's base.

'The base and the people that supported this president supported the president and supported his agenda, those things haven't changed,' Sanders said at her briefing. 'The president still exactly who he was yesterday as he was two years ago when he started out on the campaign trail.'

Trump's spokeswoman said, 'Look at all he's accomplished, I think they're pretty happy with where he is.'

President Trump had also sought to discredit Bannon, considered to have a played a key role in shaping his own victory.

'Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books,' the president said.

The blast came just hours after Bannon was revealed to have called the infamous June 2016 meeting between top Trump campaign officials and Russians 'treasonous.'

Further, Bannon expressed certainty that then-candidate Donald Trump would have been made aware of the meeting at the time – a claim that, if verified, could play into a collusion narrative being explored by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Bannon, who held a top role in the campaign, shares his disdain in Michael Wolff's forthcoming book, excerpts of which were published Wednesday, that other top officials went into the Trump Tower meeting blind instead of dispatching a legal team to vet information in a hand-off way and failing to alert authorities of a possible crime.

'Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad s***, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately,' Bannon mused.

He went after Donald Trump Jr. explicitly for participating, then expressed certainty about what happened next.

'The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these Jumos up to his father's office of the 26th floor is zero,' Bannon said, in an excerpt from 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.'

'The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor – with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers,' Bannon vented in excerpts in the book obtained by the Guardian.

The White House issued a separate statement from Sanders before her daily news conference trashing the expose.

'This book is filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House,' Sanders said.

'Participating in a book that can only be described as trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad desperate attempts at relevancy,' she added.

Stephanie Grisham, communications director for Melania Trump, responded to claims in the book that the first lady cried when Trump the election because she never expected him to win.

'The book is clearly going to be sold in the bargain fiction section. Mrs. Trump supported her husband's decision to run for President and in fact, encouraged him to do so. She was confident he would win and was very happy when he did,' Grisham said.The book also claims the Trump have separate bedrooms in the White House.

Sanders pointed to Trump's previous denials of collusion when it came up at her news conference.

Trump Jr. told the House Intelligence Committee during testimony that he did not tell his father about the meeting at the time it took place, the Washington Post reported in December.

He told Fox News host Sean Hannity after word of the meeting broke: 'In retrospect, I probably would have done things a little differently.'

He said he did not tell his father about the meeting because nothing came of it.

'It was just a nothing,' the president's son said. 'There was nothing to tell.'

Attending the meeting were Donald Trump Jr., Trump son in law and Bannon's White House rival Jared Kushner, and former campaign chair Paul Manafort, who has since been indicted on money laundering and conspiracy charges.

They met with Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya after an offer of potential dirt on Hillary Clinton got dangled to Trump Jr. via an email approach.'They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,' Bannon, a former Naval officer and Goldman Sachs employee who runs Breitbart News, said of the president's eldest son.

He laid out how the campaign should have handled such an approach. If any meeting happened, it should have been done 'in a Holiday Inn in Manchester, New Hampshire, with your lawyers who meet with these people'. That would allow information to get 'dump[ed] … down to Breitbart or something like that, or maybe some other more legitimate publication,' he said, referencing the Breitbart News site he runs.

'You never see it, you never know it, because you don't need to … But that's the brain trust that they had,' he said dismissively.

Trump named Bannon as chief executive of his campaign in August 2016, two months after the Trump Tower meeting with Russians occurred.

Bannon, who says he continues to advise President Trump, also issued predictions about the Mueller probe.

'You realize where this is going,' he said. 'This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Wessman first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to f***ing Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr. and Jared Kushner … It's as plain as a hair on your face,' he said.
